With the help of an amusing group of elves pictured at Tyynelä, Finnish Elves for All Seasons takes us to the heart of the Finnish agrarian culture of bygone years, its customs, beliefs and superstitions, its everyday life and its festivities. The book contains instructions on all aspects of farm life from the baking of Karelian pasties to the building of a smoke sauna, protection of the livestock from wolves and magic love charms.
